The last place you want to be is the city...
Sam and his friends are living it up at the end of their senior year of high school. The capstone of their musical career will be the band competition taking place deep in the urban sprawl of St. Louis. At least, that was the plan.
When the amps shut off and the music stops playing, he and his friends come face to face with a reality they never once had to think about--society is only held together when everything is 'normal.'
Without power, normal disappears. Parents disappear. Teachers disappear. Police disappear.
Soon, it is just Sam and a few friends...crossing a city that no longer has any rules.
But not everyone is panicking. One group of previously 'normal' citizens knows exactly how the power was knocked out. They've set in motion a hostile takeover of the city and they don't take kindly to teenagers who don't listen to directions or orders.
And Sam and his friends are headed to the one place that is forbidden now--out of the city limits.
NOTE: As an author, I want you to know what you are purchasing. When the Music Stops is a standalone book with the possibility of a follow up. This book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but it does leave some threads unresolved, so it keeps open the possibility of future books. Call it a standalone with options for more...If it gets enough reviews, there WILL be more!
